Snow Leopard Goodies

Published on Sunday, August 30th, 2009

A quick run­down of some of my favorite little things from Snow Leopard:

  • Seems slightly faster – maybe 10% faster for most operations
  • Min­i­mize to dock icon instead of to no-man’s land next to trash
  • Time Cap­sule can now back up hourly speed­ily. Used to have to use TimeMa­chi­neEd­i­tor and modify for every 4 hours to avoid con­stant backups
  • Time Machine backup mounted DMG isn’t generic icon anymore
  • Search now can search ‘current folder’ by default instead of the entire mac
  • Expose shows min­i­mized win­dows below main win­dows, smaller icons.
  • Expose, press­ing space­bar while moused over a window shows full size pre­view of window.
  • Column view allows you to sort by type, etc
  • More ani­ma­tions in finder when reorder­ing, etc. Every­thing seems smoother.
  • The much hyped stacks improve­ments. You can now nav­i­gate thru folders.
  • 4 finger swipe on older Mac­book Pros!
